Tow To Go Program Available Through Tuesday Morning January 2

TOW TO GO TO PROVIDE 25,000TH SAFE RIDE BY NEW YEAR’S EVE

(American Automobile Association) – For almost 20 years AAA and Budweiser have partnered to fight impaired driving by providing the Tow to Go program.

Over the next week, Tow to Go will reach a significant milestone by having removed more than 25,000 impaired drivers from roads across the Southeast and Midwest.

While it’s great to have that safety net in place, AAA and Budweiser would rather see motorists planning ahead so they don’t need it. This means choosing a Designated Driver, staying where they are celebrating, or arranging for another form of safe transportation whenever anyone celebrates away from home with alcohol.

For those that don’t plan ahead and need the Tow to Go program, it is available Friday, December 22nd through 6amTuesday morning, January 2nd.

“As we enter Tow to Go’s busiest time of the year, we are very excited to reach the 25,000 safe ride milestone ,” said Amy Stracke, Managing Director of Traffic Safety Advocacy for AAA – The Auto Club Group and Executive Director for the Auto Club Group Traffic Safety Foundation.

“However, we would still like to see more and more motorists planning ahead so the holidays can be safer for everyone.”

“The Tow to Go program is an effective way to promote the use of Designated Drivers and help prevent impaired driving,” said Katja Zastrow, Vice President of Corporate Social Responsibility for Anheuser-Busch. “We are proud to partner with AAA and their roadside assistance drivers to help keep our roads safe.”

Over the next week, Tow to Go will reach a significant milestone by having removed more than 25,000 impaired drivers from roads across the Southeast and Midwest.

Since its inception in 1998, Tow to Go has safely removed more than 24,000 impaired drivers from roads across the Southeast and Midwest.

It is designed to be a safety net for motorists who did not plan ahead when drinking away from home on celebratory holidays. It is offered based on the availability of AAA drivers and tow trucks during times of high call volume.

The Auto Club Group Traffic Safety Foundation provides Tow to Go to help keep all motorists safe from the dangers of impaired driving.

Anheuser-Busch Wholesalers have been cosponsors of the program since its inception in 1998. Not only has the company provided funding for the service, it has also worked with local bars and restaurants to help educate servers on the importance of not over-serving their customers.
